The top will be when Jim Cramer loudly proclaims there is no problem at Oracle and gives a buy rating. [VIDEO]

The fact that he still had a job after his 2008 mistake of insisting that Bear Stearns was fine and a safe place to keep your cash, is astounding. That should've been an unrecoverable mistake, especially with how strongly he was certain. "Should I be worried about Bear Stearns in terms of liquidity and get my money out of there? No, NO, NO!!!" (Afterwards... 90% loss in the next 6 days.) [VIDEO]

Maybe not that exact phrase but it does conjure to mind the video of Cramer saying Bear Stearns was fine. [VIDEO]
